Montrose Voted Finest & Best Shopping!

It’s always nice to get an award. It’s especially nice to get two! Locally the Montrose Shopping Park was voted Finest Shopping Center in Glendale by you, our CV Weekly readers, and we thank you! On a larger scale we were recently awarded Best Quaint Shopping in all of Los Angeles by L.A. Weekly. The trend to revitalize tired malls is to make them into manufactured outdoor “villages.” Here in Montrose we have the real deal and people feel safe and happy shopping here. You’ll find original mom & pop stores with the owners actually working them. Everything is handpicked and born out of the shopkeeper’s passion for their wares. There’s only one Montrose and the quaint, family feel is why film companies, like NCIS Los Angeles, like to film here. Pssst … watch upcoming episodes and look for the MSP! Here are some more reasons to Fall In Love With Montrose: The one and only Montrose Candy Co. has its Halloween candy in, like foil wrapped chocolate cats … It’s candle season at Twigs & Things! Cindy says she’s been busy selling their new shipment of Yankee jar candles … Have you tried the very popular new yogurt flavor, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, at Froyo Life yet? … Call Casa Cordoba at (818) 937-4445 and book your reservation for Wednesday, Oct. 28 at 6:30 p.m. before they fill up. It’s a special Spanish wine and tapas pairing evening. Cost is $45 per person.
